Heavy, and extra postage may be requested to destinations outside Australia. 166 pp. A biographical tribute by C. E. Kenney of the life and work of the 17th-century British seaman and author Samuel Sturmy, who wrote a brilliant book on contemporary mariner's skills. Profusely illustrated with 97 facsimiles of title pages, portraits and instruments. The text consists of five 'books': The Seventeenth Century Background; Notes on the Life of Captain Samuel Sturmy; General Description of his Book, 'The Mariner's Magazine - 1669'; The Library of Captain Sturmy; and Conclusion. The five books are separated by title pages illustrated with woodcuts by Hellmuth Weissenborn. Sturmy died in 1669 in the year after he published this - his only - book, which, based on his contributions to 'The Mariner's Magazine’, were of upmost importance to the accuracy of maritime navigation.
